In addition, each Party shall appoint one or more contact persons in writing who will be responsible for supervising on behalf of the Service Managers the proper performance of all the activities and tasks in connection with a specific Service (the “Contact Persons”). The Contact Persons will be nominated before the Services start to be provided and may be replaced by the appointing Party from time to time.

If no Contact Person has been appointed for a Service, all correspondence shall be sent exclusively to the Service Manager in the interim. The Service Manager of a Party will inform the Service Manager of the other Party in writing of the name and contact details of the Contact Persons without delay.

Section 4.2 Steering Committee.

The Parties agree that three (3) top managers of each Party shall serve as members of a steering committee to supervise overall performance of this Agreement by each of Parties (the “Steering Committee”). Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, the three members of each Party shall be (i) the Group Chief Financial Officer, the Chief Innovation and Operating Officer and the Chief Legal Officer of Nokia and (ii) the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and the General Counsel of the Company. Each Party shall also appoint one deputy for each of its members on the Steering Committee. The Parties may mutually agree upon replacements of such members from time to time during the Term as appropriate.

The Steering Committee shall meet whenever necessary and no less than once a month during the first three (3) months following the execution date of this Agreement and no less than once quarterly thereafter. The Steering Committee can be convened at any time by any member with five (5) Business Days prior notice to the other members and without any delay if there is a quorum.

The members of the Steering Committee shall notify each other in writing (including by email or fax) at least five (5) Business Days ahead of the next Steering Committee meeting of the items to be included at the agenda of such meeting.

The meetings of the Steering Committee may be conducted on either a face-to-face basis or via video or telephone conference call, whichever is mutually agreed to by the Parties at least three (3) Business Days in advance of the scheduled meeting. The Steering Committee may also act without a meeting upon the unanimous written consent of all the members of the Steering Committee (or, as the case may be, their respective deputies).

No action may be taken at any meeting of the Steering Committee unless a quorum is present. A quorum of the Steering Committee shall consist of four (4) members, including two (2) members (or their deputies) representing Nokia and two (2) members (or their deputies) representing the Company. Any action by such quorum must be approved by a simple majority, including the vote of at least one representative of each Party.

The members of the Steering Committee shall formalize in writing the minutes of the last meeting for approval at the next meeting unless the decision has been taken by unanimous written consent of all the members of the Steering Committee (or, as the case may be, their respective deputies) as per the previous paragraph.

The minutes of the meetings, and the decisions, of the Steering Committee shall be provided as soon as reasonably practicable to the Nokia Board and the Company Board.

The Steering Committee may appoint one or more persons that are not members of the Steering Committee as secretaries for each meeting.

The Steering Committee may decide to appoint Advisors to assist the Steering Committee in performing its obligations. The Steering Committee shall ensure that both Parties and their relevant Subsidiaries may have access to the work performed by such Advisors. The Steering Committee shall ensure full cooperation with the Advisors and shall, in particular, grant the Advisors full access to all documents, books, data, other information and appropriate personnel during normal business hours and on reasonable advance notice. The fees, expenses and costs of the Advisors shall be borne equally by the Parties and their relevant Subsidiaries.

A quarterly report shall be prepared by the Steering Committee and shall be transmitted to the Nokia Board and the Company Board for information purposes on the implementation of this Agreement. Such quarterly report shall notably include a summary of matters discussed at the Steering Committee, including a presentation of any dispute referred to the Steering Committee during the previous quarter and the solution that has been decided and implemented, as the case may be.

The Nokia Board and the Company Board may have access, at any time (whether or not there is a Steering Committee Deadlock), to all the minutes of the meetings, and the decisions, of the Steering Committee and more generally, to any information, data or documents, including audit report, work product of the Advisors appointed by the Steering Committee reasonably required to assess the fairness of the terms and conditions of the performance of the Services pursuant to this Agreement or that may be necessary in order to assess the matters referred to it in the event of a Steering Committee Deadlock.

The Service Managers shall discuss any disputes that arise in connection with this Agreement without delay and shall endeavor to settle these between them.

The N-1 Leaders of the Parties shall endeavor to find a solution acceptable to both Parties for each matter submitted to them within five (5) Business Days of the matter being referred to them. In the event the N-1 Leaders of the Parties are unable to arrive at a mutually acceptable solution then such matter will be referred to the Steering Committee for resolution within ten (10) Business Days.

In the absence of a quorum during two (2) consecutive meetings of the Steering Committee or in the event that a quorum is present and the members representing Nokia and the Company cannot reach agreement with respect to any proposed action or decision (a “Steering Committee Deadlock”), the Parties must refer the matter(s) causing the Steering Committee Deadlock to Nokia Board and the Company Board. In the event an agreement cannot be reached by the Parties within ten (10) Business Days of the Steering Committee Deadlock, either Party may refer the matter to arbitration pursuant to Section 11.13.

Notwithstanding any dispute or escalation thereof pursuant to this Section 4.3, each Party will in good faith during the pendency of the applicable dispute continue to perform the relevant Services so as to minimize the disruption or impact of any delays associated with escalation or dispute resolution proceedings on the Parties’ respective operations or businesses.

Section 4.4 Limits of Authority.

The Parties shall adopt a mechanism of limits of authority in connection with the decisions and actions relating to the sales/bidding process of both Parties. To this effect, each of the Parties hereby grants a mandate to the Steering Committee to establish, validate or authorize such mechanism, including the type of decisions and actions covered, applicable thresholds and the identity of the individuals with authority to approve such decisions or actions; provided however that such mechanism shall provide for a fair representation of representatives of both Nokia and the Company.

The withholding Party shall furnish evidence of such paid Taxes to the other Party (or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be) as is sufficient to enable the other Party (or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be) to obtain any credits available to it.

All amounts expressed to be payable under Exhibit 1 of the Agreement by the Receiving Party to the Service Provider which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for any supply for VAT purposes are deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on that supply, and accordingly, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by the Service Provider to the Receiving Party and such Service Provider is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, that the Receiving Party must pay to such Service Provider (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply referred to in Exhibit 1) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT (and such Service Provider must promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to that Receiving Party).

ARTICLE VII

SPECIFIC COVENANTS

Section 7.1 Authority and Direction.

The employees assigned by the Service Provider to perform the Services pursuant to the terms hereof shall at all times remain solely under the authority and direction of their actual contractual employer. The Agreement creates no subordinate relationship between the Service Provider’s and the Receiving Party’s personnel, even in the event Services are being performed in the mutual interest of the Parties. The Service Provider is thus solely responsible for managing its personnel, which remains entirely subordinated to the Service Provider. The Receiving Party shall not have any obligation to pay any such person’s salary, insurance, social security or any other amounts required by applicable Law or by Contract to be paid to or in respect of any such person by his or her employer. In the event that such a person should claim any such payment from the Receiving Party in respect of the Services, the Service Provider shall fully indemnify, defend and hold the Receiving Party harmless from and against any claims deriving from defaults in payment by the Service Provider. The Service Provider alone is responsible for any signature and termination of employment contracts with its personnel. In its capacity as employer, the Service Provider will be personally responsible for all wages, salaries, bonuses, social security contributions, paid leave, management and more generally all of the obligations incumbent upon it with regard to its personnel.

Section 7.2 Compliance with applicable Law.

The Service Provider shall carry out or cause to be carried out all the Services in accordance with this Agreement and all applicable Laws. In particular, the Parties shall carry out information and/or consultation of employee representative bodies in the respective jurisdictions where such information and/or consultation procedures are required under applicable Law in relation to the performance of this Agreement. Each Party shall notify the other Party in writing promptly following its becoming aware of any change in applicable Laws that would reasonably be expected to materially affect the Services or require any Services to be modified or discontinued. The Parties shall discuss and negotiate in good faith any proposed modification or discontinuance of any Service as a result of such change in applicable Law.

Section 7.3 Cooperation.

To the extent permitted under applicable Law, each Party shall, and shall procure that its respective Subsidiaries shall comply with the terms and conditions of the Agreement and shall cooperate as reasonably required with the other Party and its Subsidiaries in connection with the carrying out and acceptance of the Services in order to minimise the expense and risk of interruptions and disruptions.

To the extent permitted under applicable Law, each Party will provide and shall cause its Subsidiaries to provide to the other Party and its relevant Subsidiaries, free of any charge or cost, any information, data or documents reasonably required for reporting or compliance obligations with any Relevant Authority.

To the extent permitted under applicable Law, each Party will provide and shall cause its Subsidiaries to provide to the other Party and its relevant Subsidiaries (at the request of such Party or its Advisors), free of any charge or cost, any information, data or documents reasonably required to assess the performance of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, a Party and its Subsidiaries (and their respective Advisors) may not have access to any work product of any Advisor appointed by the other Party or its Subsidiaries in connection with a Dispute.

Section 7.4 Interconnection of Products.

To the extent permitted under applicable Law, each Party shall assist, and shall procure that its Subsidiaries assist, the other Party and its Subsidiaries to interconnect their products with the other Party’s (and its Subsidiaries’) products regardless whether they are already installed in customer networks or not. Upon request of one Party triggered by a business need, the other Party (and its Subsidiaries, as the case may be) shall forthwith make available and explain to said Party all information available needed by or useful for the interconnection of said Party’s (and its Subsidiaries’) products with the products of the other Party (and/or its Subsidiaries). The Parties grant each other the non-exclusive and non-transferrable right to use the interface information provided by the other Party to interconnect the other Party’s products to their products.

Section 7.5 Sales Channels

The Service Provider (and its Subsidiaries) shall be able to decide on the type of method for sales of products (including reselling, joint bids, sub-contracting, consortium), it being agreed that whenever the chosen method for sales requires the transfer of a margin, such margin will be charged according to the provisions of Section 2 of Annex 1. The Parties and their local subsidiaries shall be free to agree and execute necessary agreements to govern such sales.

Section 7.6 Personnel Skills and Competence.

The Service Provider shall allocate to the performance of the Services sufficient personnel with appropriate experience, knowledge and competence, in each case to carry out or cause to be carried out all Services with the same degree of care, competence, skill and diligence and using or causing to be used substantially the same business procedures and policies, standards of care and internal controls, to a standard which is equivalent to the standard applied by the Service Provider for its own internal purposes. In the event any individual employee or executive namely designated in any of the Annexes hereto becomes unable or unfit to perform the Services due to, inter alia, dismissal, termination of employment, disability or change in professional duties, the Service Provider must ensure due performance of the relevant Services by other appropriately qualified member of personnel.

Section 7.7 Third Parties and External Service Providers.

To the extent that the provision of Services to the Receiving Party requires the consent of a third party, including a third party with whom the Service Provider has a contract relating to the Services, or requires the consent of a third party to use or purchase from such third party any materials, the Service Provider shall use best efforts to secure such consent from such third party.

The Service Provider may have the Services carried out by its own staff or may outsource the Services to an Affiliate or an external service provider, provided that in case of outsourcing to an external service provider (i) the Service Provider has selected the external service provider with reasonable care, (ii) the Service Provider shall provide the Receiving Party with prior written notice of each proposed external service provider and afford the Receiving Party the opportunity to object to each such proposed external service provider (such objection not to be unreasonably opposed) within a reasonable period of time upon receipt of the aforementioned written notice and (iii) the Service Provider shall remain fully responsible for the performance of the Services in accordance with the Agreement.

To the extent that the Service Provider uses its Affiliate or authorized external service providers, as permitted pursuant to the preceding paragraph, to provide the Services to the Receiving Party, the Service Provider shall cause such Affiliate and authorized external service providers to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, as if the Affiliate or external service provider were a party to this Agreement.

Section 7.8 Changes to Services.

In the event a Receiving Party requires changes to be made to the Services, it shall send a change request to the Service Provider. The change request must be submitted in writing and contain sufficient information so that the Service Provider is able to adequately assess the request. The Parties shall discuss in good faith if and under what conditions, including the appropriate fees and starting date, the requested (changed) Service can be carried out. If the Parties agree in writing upon a proposed change request, the relevant Annex hereto shall be amended to include the terms and conditions of such agreed upon change.

Section 7.9 Data Protection.

When performing this Agreement, each of the Parties shall (and shall procure that its Subsidiaries will) treat, and cause its and their employees and authorized external service providers to treat, personal data about individuals as confidential in accordance with all applicable data protection Laws.

To the extent that any Party (and its Subsidiaries, as the case may be) processes any personal data provided by the other Party (or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be) in connection with the provision of Services, the relevant Party (and its Subsidiaries, as the case may be) shall (i) maintain reasonable technical and organizational security and confidentiality measures to mitigate the risk of accidental or unlawful destruction, accidental loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access, and against all other unlawful forms of processing of personal data, in accordance with the other Party’s privacy policies, (ii) act upon and fully comply with the instructions received from the other Party (and its Subsidiaries, as the case may be) in relation to the processing of personal data, and (iii) otherwise comply with applicable data security and privacy Laws.

Section 7.10 Services Level Agreements.

In order to measure the performance of the Services by Nokia and by the Company in relation to Services to be provided pursuant to this Agreement, the Parties agree that the Steering Committee may, if it deems it necessary upon its review of such performance and recommendation of the Service Manager of both Parties, establish one or several services level agreements (“SLAs”) and related procedure in case of non-compliance with any such SLA in relation to the relevant Services. The Parties expressly acknowledge that SLAs may not be defined with respect to each and every Service to be provided hereunder, due to the specificities of such Service.

CONFIDENTIALITY

Each Party will, and will cause its Subsidiaries to, hold and will use its best efforts to cause their respective members, partners, officers, directors, employees, any external service provider providing Services and other agents to hold, in confidence and with the same level of protection as such Party’s own most confidential documents, all documents and information concerning the other Party or its Subsidiaries furnished to or accessed by such Party or its Subsidiaries in connection with the operations contemplated by this Agreement (the “Confidential Information”), except to the extent that such information can be shown to have been previously in the public domain through no fault of such Party or later lawfully acquired by such Party on a non-confidential basis from sources other than the other Party or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that such Party may disclose such information in connection with the operations contemplated by this Agreement to the members, partners, officers, directors, employees, third parties providing Services and other agents of such Party or its Subsidiaries on a need to know basis so long as such persons are informed by such Party of the confidential nature of such information and are directed by such Party to keep such information confidential and not to use it for any purpose other than its intended use; and, provided further that if any person described in the immediately preceding proviso breaches its confidentiality obligations, the Party to whom the disclosure is attributable will inform the other Party and will take all necessary steps at the request of such other Party to enforce such obligation.

The Parties undertake to use their best efforts to try to settle amicably any dispute, controversy or claim (including any non-contractual claim) arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the breach, termination or validity thereof (a “Dispute”). Therefore, before referring to arbitration any Party must notify by registered mail to the other Party its wish to try to settle amicably the Dispute. Such notice shall include description of the Dispute and any documents reasonably available to such Party and related thereto. The Parties undertake to involve the higher level of their management to try to settle amicably the Dispute.

Failing an amicable settlement within three (3) weeks of the receipt of the above-mentioned notification, the Dispute shall be finally settled by arbitration under the rules administered by the International Court of Arbitration (the “Court”) of the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”) then in effect (the “Rules”), except as modified herein. The seat of arbitration shall be London, United Kingdom. The language of the arbitration shall be English, provided that documents or testimony may be submitted in another language if a translation is provided.

In an arbitration the following shall apply:

(i)

The arbitration shall be conducted by three arbitrators (the “Tribunal”) appointed in accordance with the Rules, and the Parties intend for the ICC Court to strictly enforce the relevant time periods in order to promptly constitute the Tribunal. The Terms of Reference (as defined in the Rules) shall be signed by the Tribunal and the Parties as expeditiously as possible but no later than twenty (20) Business Days after the confirmation of the appointment of the third arbitrator, subject to extension by the ICC Court. The Parties further direct the Tribunal to
